Kuldip Singh and Gurbachan Singh Dhingra, Chairman and Vice Chairman, Berger Paints
Net worth: $3.7 bLN 2016 Forbes India Rich List Rank #28
In the summer of 1990, the year before he bought Berger Paints from Vijay Mallya, Kuldip Singh Dhingra meticulously planned his daughters’ first US visit. Youngest daughter Dipti (left) had just turned 10 and this meant she’d at last be able to get past the height restrictions at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Eldest Rishma, standing next to her father, remembers an action packed and fun-filled week. (Mother Meeta Dhingra and sister Jessima are also seen in this picture.) The family stayed at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress, Orlando, and visited a park a day—Walt Disney World and its parks Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Epcot and Animal Kingdom, apart from SeaWorld and Wet ’n Wild. “It was such a treat. Sitting in India we could never have imagined this,” says Rishma. Also on the agenda was a quick trip to New York. A visit to Walt Disney World is on its way to becoming a family tradition. Rishma has taken her daughters there and Jessima has already planned her family visit. Both were unanimous on their choice of hotel—Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress.
